Some people put too much trust on their dog...what makes them think they're not going to run out to chase something, what if a car happens to drive by??? I am so glad that you & Tibbe are ok! We've had a big unleashed GSD trotting up to us & as soon as I bent down to scoop up Princess & Turbo, the GSD already had his nose on them. After the fact, I realized that the GSD was very friendly but I wasn't sure how Turbo would react (he nips @ other dogs if they get too close) & thus provoking the GSD. Turbo is even more fearful of other dogs after this experience bc of how I reacted.=/ I'm working on him, sitting whenever a dog passes by or going the opposite way if he gives a negative reaction (this seems to work the best for him as long as we're moving away from the other dog!). He'll do good on some days, others not so much esp if the other dog is barking back lolll...total chaos. |
